General type of vehicle Explanatory Note 1: type of vehicle The Special Condition (SC) has been developed to cover a new category of person-carrying vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) heavier-than-air aircraft with lift/thrust units used to generate powered lift and control. The vertical take-off and landing capability distinguishes this type of aircraft from aeroplanes. The Special Condition does not intend to cover traditional rotorcraft either but rather aircraft with distributed lift/thrust and it will be clarified that, for the SC to be applicable, more than 2 lift/thrust units should be used to provide lift during vertical take-off or landing. The Special Condition background mentioned “the aircraft may not be able to perform an autorotation or a controlled glide in the event of a loss of lift/thrust” as it is the case for some VTOL aircraft being proposed, however this is not a requirement.

In the Emergency Procedures section of a POH, what is typically indicated by emergency procedure steps FTW-8G ? that are shown in boldface type? a) The steps should be memorized. b) The steps are optional. c) Additional information regarding those steps is contained in the amplified procedures section of the POH. 2. Why are the emergency procedures for dealing with an engine failure just after takeoff different from the procedures for dealing with an engine failure in flight? a) The best glide airspeeds are significantly different and result in very different glide angles. b) Engine failures at altitude may allow time for restart procedures to be attempted. c) If the wheels have not stopped spinning from the takeoff roll, the aerodynamics of the forced landing will be substantially different. 3. When responding to an engine failure immediately after takeoff, or for any forced landing, why is it a good idea to shutdown and secure the engine prior to landing? a) Having the engine on limits the effectiveness of flaps and ailerons. b) To reduce the possibility of a post-crash fire. c) To reserve some fuel for future takeoffs, if needed. 4. When should the airplane’s avionics and electrical system be shut down during a forced landing? a) Once landing is assured. b) Prior to squawking 7700 on the transponder.

Percival Franklin DEVELOPED BY THE © University of Florida 2010 ABOUT THE AUTHORS John Charles Simon is a Research Coordinator for the University of Florida’s South Florida Wading Bird Project. He earned his private pilot’s certificate in 1986 and has flown over 750 hours as a passenger/observer in both fixed- winged and rotary aircraft conducting population and nesting surveys, habitat evaluations, following flights, and radio telemetry. Dr. Peter Frederick is a Research Professor in the University of Florida’s Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. His research on wading birds in the Florida Everglades has used aerial survey techniques extensively and intensively, with over 1,500 hours flown in fixed-winged and rotary aircraft over 25 years. He survived one air crash in a Cessna 172 during the course of that work. Dr. Kenneth D. Meyer is Director of the Avian Research and Conservation Institute and an Associate Professor (Courtesy) in the University of Florida's Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. Since 1981, Dr. Meyer's research on birds has involved fixed-wing and rotary aircraft for radio telemetry, population surveys, roost counts, nest finding, and following flights. Dr. H. Percival Franklin is Courtesy Associate Professor and Unit Leader of the Florida Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. Its employees and cooperators, regardless of employment, are bound by strict aircraft training and use regulations of the Department of Interior. Dr Franklin has been a strong proponent of aircraft and other safety issues in the workplace.

  • Chapter 11 Transition to Complex Airplanes
    Chapter 11 Transition to Complex Airplanes Introduction A high-performance airplane is defined as an airplane with an engine capable of developing more than 200 horsepower. A complex airplane is an airplane that has a retractable landing gear, flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller. In lieu of a controllable pitch propeller, the aircraft could also have an engine control system consisting of a digital computer and associated accessories for controlling the engine and the propeller. A seaplane would still be considered complex if it meets the description above except for having floats instead of a retractable landing gear system. 11-1 i ii Tapered Delta Sweptback Figure 11-1. Airfoil types. Transition to a complex airplane, or a high-performance axis. Wing flaps acts symmetrically about the longitudinal airplane, can be demanding for most pilots without previous axis producing no rolling moment; however, both lift and drag experience. Increased performance and complexity both increase as well as a pitching moment about the lateral axis. require additional planning, judgment, and piloting skills. Lift is a function of several variables including air density, Transition to these types of airplanes, therefore, should be velocity, surface area, and lift coefficient. Since flaps increase accomplished in a systematic manner through a structured an airfoil’s lift coefficient, lift is increased.

High speed flight requires smaller wing areas and moment is caused by the rearward movement of the moderately cambered airfoils whereas low speed flight is wing’s center of pressure; however, that pitching behavior obtained with airfoils with a greater camber and larger wing depends on several variables including flap type, wing area.
